Introducing the Probus Clubs
The Probus Clubs are a voluntary organization of PROfessional and BUSiness people dedicated to helping people with mental retardation and other disabilities. The first Probus Club was formed in 1921 in New Haven. There are presently nine chapters from New England to Florida.
We're Doctors, Lawyers, Insurance Chiefs
Probus Club's membership is comprised of some of the busiest men and women in their communities. But no matter how busy their practices, businesses and personal lives are, they find time to help people with disabilities through participatory events and fund raising functions.
Lifetime friendships and associations begin through working together as volunteers and socializing at membership events.
We're putting smiles on people's faces
Our purpose is to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. We offer financial aid as well as activities that provide opportunities to interact in general society. Probus Clubs conduct a number of programs that assist in the normalization of the lives of these citizens. These projects include Special Olympics, outings to athletic and cultural events, picnics, and holiday celebrations.
All proceeds from fund raising activities are allocated to servicing our client projects, which include contributions to the Special Olympics, Special Education scholarships, camperships, and other services and equipment for people with disabilities in our communities. Funds have been raised through Las Vegas Nights, tag sales, raffles, auctions, candy sales and more.
